Most Escherichia coli strains live harmlessly in the intestines and rarely cause disease in
healthy individuals. Nonetheless, a number of pathogenic strains can cause diarrhea or …

Pathogenic Escherichia coli are known to be a common cause of diarrheal disease and a
frequently occurring bacterial infection in children and adults in Latin America. Despite the …

The dynamics of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in developing countries are poorly
understood, especially in community settings, due to a sparsity of data on AMR prevalence …

Diarrhoeagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) is a leading cause of infectious diarrhoea worldwide.
In recent years, Escherichia albertii has also been implicated as a cause of human enteric …

(1) Background: Pathogenic Escherichia coli are divided into two groups: diarrheagenic
(DEC) and extraintestinal pathogenic (ExPEC) E. coli. ExPEC causing urinary tract infections …

Different surveillance studies (2005–2015) in northwest Spain revealed the presence of eae-

Hybrid strains Escherichia coli acquires genetic characteristics from multiple pathotypes and
is speculated to be more virulent; however, understanding their pathogenicity is elusive …

Since no recent data characterizing Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) from human
infections in Brazil are available, the present study aimed to investigate serotypes, stx …

Type III secretion systems are used by many Gram-negative bacterial pathogens to inject
proteins, known as effectors, into the cytosol of host cells. These virulence factors interfere …

Introduction. Acute diarrheal disease still deserves worldwide attention due to its high
morbidity and mortality, especially in developing countries. While etiologic determination is …
